IT FEELS LIKE PARADISE

So after all the fun activities in town we all loaded

up and went out to my brother and sister in law's

cabin. They had already spent the night out there,

came in for all the 4th of July activities, then headed

back out with their 3 kids. 

The views heading away from town...

Here we are pulling into their beautiful bay. We have a

drop bow boat, so the front drops down and we can go

right up to shore to let people and supplies out.

My husband and I went out in the kayaks to look around.

Here we are paddling between everyone's anchored boats.

The water is like glass!

The newly painted Alaska Airlines contest plane took off 

and flew right over us.

This is so much fun! We were able to just float along quietly 

and paddle as we felt like it because the water was so calm.

Here is a beautiful bay we pulled into. The water was

crystal clear and filled with starfish and sea anenomes.

The reflections were amazing! And talk about quiet, all

we heard was the birds in the trees and the lapping of

the water on the shoreline.

There is an eagle's nest right in this area and this guy

didn't mind us floating along out here. It took off after

this and snatched a fish right out of the water.

Ahhhh, the good life. This is only part of our tribe, the

rest couldn't make it on this trip. I am roasting the

marshmallows, my sister in law is making the s'mores,

kids are playing with sparklers, people are talking.

We were treated to freshly caught salmon and

halibut perfectly grilled on the cabin porch.

Does it get any better than this?

Just as we were pulling away at 10:00 pm to head home

the full moon decided to show his face. The perfect ending

to an incredible weekend!
